Anyway, Azmal, thanks for the links. My first long-distance flight was with MH DC-10-30 in Jan '78 (KUL-SYD). Never had the chance to try B707. +++ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fendy Report post Posted April 15, 2007 does it really matter if its hkg or not? just give the benefit of the doubt to the photographer - the person who was there. and just enjoy the pictures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 Hear, hear ! The 707 did look slendid in the old MAS colours, wherever in the world it was pictured at. Thank goodness we have a 1:400 representation available, to be oggled at leisure !! As far as I can remember, I was only ever on a MH 707 once, on our way KUL (SZB now) to home (BKI) after undergoing my interview at British consulate (for student visa) I think it was after the DC-10's arrived and the 707's were thus available for deployment on the busier domestic sectors. Yep, nostalgia creeping in again ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 Wonder how the 707s look like in MAS's current livery Think, they would look as classy as the 'old' livery; maybe, some FSIMmers can do a 'repaint' and show it here ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
